Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
